POISONED ARROWS.
An Indian Tells How These Deadly Wcap-
ons are Given Their Venom.
(From the Omaha Republican,

lIIo3l4 VIC NilltiIIl AtSpli1iISStiA J
1 had often heard of poisoned arrows
and determined to ask the old Indian
arrow-maker about them and how they
were made and impregnated with the
deadly poison which they were supposed
to contain. He looked at me for full
minute and then said:
"First We take bloated yellow rattle
snake in August, when he is most pois-
onous, and tie him with a forked stick to
a stake; then we tease him until he is in
a great rage. This is done by passing a
switch over his body from his head to
his tail. When he threshes the ground
with his body and his eyes grow bright
and sparkle Like diamonds we kill a deer;
antelope or some other small animal
and, tearing out the liver, throw it to
the snake while it is warm and the blood
still coursing through it. The reptile
viii strike it again and again and pretty
soon it begin to turn black. When he
tires the snake is teased again and he is
induced to sink his fangs into the soft
flesh until all the poison is extracted
from him and the liver is reeking with
it. He is then killed and the liver lifted
with 9 sharp pole, for SO dangerous is it,
10 one dare touch it. The liver is let
lay for about an hour when it will be al
most jet black and emit a sour smell.
Arrows are then brought and their iron
heads pushed into the liver up to the
shaft. They are left sticking there for
about an hour and half, when they are
Withdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin
glstening yellow scum adheres to the
arrow and if it but so much as touches
raw flesh it is certain &c poison it to
death"
I asked if Indians still used poisoned
arrows. "No," he replied, 'no man,
Indian or white man, for years past has
been shot with these arrows and they ere
no longer made"

Pigeons as Pets.

Frank Satterthwait suggests that in
casting about for what kind Of pet to
take tc ones heart and cherish, one OF
the most hardy for either town or ccun-
try is the pigeon. The majority of the
great pigeon fanciers of this day com
manced their favorite pursuit when
young. They began by keeping only a
few common birts in boxes on the roof
or in the barn, out Of the reach of cats
and other enemies. Soon they grew IN
terested in the different fancy breeds,
which embrance over two hundred varie-
ties. Some of these have been carefully
bred for nearly two thousand years, and
at this time the best birds of some Of
the most popular kinds sell for the Id III
mense snm of q, GCG pan. The young
beginner, however, should content him
self at first with pair or two of the
most common breeds, not necessarily
the mongrel birds of the streets, but ot
some distinct variety. His fancy will
decide his choice, whether birds to carry
back to him messages from his friends,
or those only curious or beautiful to
look at, that will perch about his home.
Most likely the young pigeon-keeper
will begin by having his birds in a box
out of doors. The box in this case
should be well joined, and should not be
exposed to the North or Eas... ! should
be divided into as many compartments
as there are pairs of pigeons, with door
to each apartment, and q landing-step in
front. Should it be desired, however,
to keep the birds confined IN '*Ioft, "
there should he :1pie ventilation, and
in winter the temperature should De
kept at 50 degrees. II kept in a room,
each pair of birds should be provided
with box to 1es5 in, which should be
filed with fne-cut salt hay. The floor
of the room should be sprinkied with
white beach sand, and basin OF pare
water should be always on hand.

Nashington's latest crank murder LGs
set the doctors to talking, a%..l. some of
them are outspoken IN blaming the Law
for the unusually large nunbec Of dan
gerols crGn&s always TO be found in this
city. It is so difficult now to put q
lunatic in an insane asylum, they say,
that few care to take the trouble aeces

two other citizens certified to the insani-
ty of an individual, that settled it, and
the lunatic was at once put under lock
and key. But now no man can be lock-
ed up as a lunatic without trial by jury,
and It is rare case when twelve jury
men can be found to agree upon the in
sanity Of any person.

day: "In consequence of the restoration

:: BOYS REVENGE.
How lie Made life :. Burden to a Super
cilious Bank Teller.
(FrDm the Baltimore American.

tFrGm the Baltimore Amcrican.)
There is in Washington small boy,
not more than ten years of age, whose
indulgent mother keeps him well sup
Piled with pocket money. This young
man opened an account with the local
savings bank some time ago, and April
l he had on deposit there about S35.
Two Or three days la:er he had a falling
out with the teller of the institution.
For nearly week ho tried to think up
some method for settling the score and
at last he hit upon plan. He went to
the bank and drew out $50 from his
store. Then he went over to the Treas
ury building, which is Just across the
street, and got his three .'tens' convert.
ed into thirty "ones." Next he pro-
ceeded to make out thirty deposit slips,
each for one dollar. These he carried
to the bank, one at time, compelling
the poor teller to make thirty separate
entries in his books. The next day this
young ferd again drew out $50. Again
he visited the Treasury, but this time he
had his money changed into silver quar-
tiers, bright from the mint. One hun
dred and twenty deposit tickets were
then prepared, and q corresponding
number of entries had to be made io
that unfortunate teller's big books. Then
for three days an armistice was declared
but at the end of that time $50 was again
drawn out, and this time when the boy
visited the Treasury building it was
dimes that he wanted. Tic regulation
deposit slips were prepared once more,
and the telcr gritted his teeth when he
saw that he was again to be made the
victim Of that boys yindictiveness. 1t
last the 300 dimes were all in the bank,
and the young villain prepared to reduce
the store Of his wealth to nickels, but he
was notified that the bank would insist
upon the thirty days notice allowed by
law, and for time the teller rests.

n THE South, where the chief proIilc-
ton is cotton, it is surprising that the
increase oE prui:,3tion is due to white
labor. The largest increase IL cotton is
in those districts, LIE Texas and Arkan-
sas, where tie population Is mainly
white. Il is trle that at least hall OF the
cotton crop is raised by whites. A sig
niEicant ;ac, in connection With the il
crease il Southern production is tic fact
that i is greatest il those &,1ssicles where
white labor is LILY engaged. II
sugar, mainly raised By blacks, the pro-
duction is falling of. South Carolina's ;
rice crop, worked by negroes, has Dc.
creased; that of Lo1..ieiana, grown by
whites, is steadily increasing; and so it
is WITH truck farming, dairying ard fruit
growing, which promise SO much for the
South; and manufactures, monopoli=el
by the whites, save some OF the rougher
industries. It is impossible to obtain
absolute and detjnits statistics on this
matter, h;I. everything points to the fsc!
that there has been but little change OF
increase II the production OF the negroes
in the South for many years past, &E4
that whatever Improvement there is, Is
due to white labor, skill and industry.
